Good work Mrs F! I especially liked the butter! Though, I have to say, I don't think there was anything unfeasible about it! :mrgreen:

well if your fingers have that many pricks to worry about, no wonder your mind is directed down a certain route...marvellous, especially the use of a french knot! Ooh la la!

Haha - Mrs Flibble - you previously stated that you wore a t-shirt that said 'Nobody knows I'm a lesbian'.

Why does this embroidery not surprise me!

Nice work! Where can I get a pornographic quilt? :wink:

OK here goes, but nothing as exciting as some on this list.

1 Sold our house on the condition we moved out in 2 weeks (we had lived there 20 years)
2 Lived for 6 months in a caravan touring looking for somewhere to live (address .. no fixed abode)
3 Had a half hour meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev (but before he was famous)
4 Apart from Embassy staff was the only British citizen in the whole of the USSR for a week
5 Fell down a 30' well when I was 7 and was rescued by my grandfather with a rope
6 Have been married to the same person for 39 years (despite No 2 above)
7 Became a church bellringer, and because of that ......
8 ..... shook the hand of the Queen Mum (really name dropping now)
9 Converted a van into a tour bus for Kenny Ball & his Jazz men
10 Really sadly techy. Bounced my radio signals off the moon and heard the return echo milliseconds later

Sorry about the last one, but I was beginning to struggle after No 6

Wow, we should make a stuck together list of all the best on here.

Here's mine:
1. Met the Notre Dame American Football team without knowing who on earth they were and told them that real men play rugby and don't use body protection (was a tad squiffy).
2. Have sat on the top of Masada & watched the sun rise while eating tomatoes dipped in chocolate spread.
3. Visited a place actually called The Valley of the Shadow of Death (looked like every other valley we passed!)
4. Convinced the wonderful Mr. QB to live with me.
5. Have touched the most valuble piece of Chinese ceramic ware in the world. (I was allowed to)
6. Knitted a watch cosy as my first ever knitting project.
7. Actually got my head stuck down the back of the sofa, see it's not just Father Dougal.
8. Have walked into the living room and found partner relaxing, watching TV and eating a packet of salted giant catepillars.
9. Raised the courage to try said catepillars.
10. Used snuff. Rather nice actually, shame about the cancer and funny yellow stains.

1. Had an angry mouse hanging off my finger after rescuing it from the cat (why it didn't do that to the cat I'll never know!)
2. Seen flying fish in the sea off West Africa
3. Been caught in violent turbulence whilst in an aeroplane on-board toilet (hilarious and potentially messy)
4. Had an armed escort from the airport in Pakistan to my week's accommodation
5. Seen a HUGE millipede cross my path, looked like an animated cigar
6. Can cut a 5m by 5m square of grass in under 5 mins 30 secs with my scythe
7. Have eaten raw sea anemone, bear, reindeer and kangaroo (not all at once!)
8. Can hypnotise myself (and others if they let me mwahahahahaaaaa)
9. Can flare my nostrils and curl my tongue into a tube
10. Have worked offshore on a gas rig in north west Australia and been the only woman on board a rig with 250 blokes...and they were all perfect gents...bah!
